I’m furious about it and agree that all rounds need to have numbers. Is it a true round if its not a number? Not if you ask me. I’m tossing up not going to the game as a boycott but need others to join me.

Should be round -1, or 1BR1 (1 Before Round 1) ;)
just like the years there is no year Zero. Went from 1BC to 1AD

It looks to me as though it is being marketed as Opening Round not Round Zero🤔
Opening Round sounds fine to me.

But there is no Closing Round so how will I be able to tell when the season is over?

I don’t believe many, if any of our VFL top ups are perceived as having potential to play at the highest level at some stage.

A couple of our VFL players are clearly there because of their brothers.

I’d actually prefer if we had more players like Reville, ex academy kids who might yet show something with a couple of more years at a higher level, then add in a couple of our top academy kids.

I believe I heard Bradley MacDonald’s name mentioned in the telecast, so that’s one.

I do wonder where Billy Richardson is this year, and do hope he’s going around again with the academy as an overager. Miller1971 ?

Richardson is in the L3 program as an over ager. I think there are 5-6 over agers in the program, unsure on the limit on how many they can select. I think the Allies limit is 5, and thats across all the contributing regions.

With talls like Gillet, Jensen, Waller, Hewitt and McDonald, I wuoldn't expect to see Richardson progress into the CTL games.

Plus Gallop and Gilder playing tall roles.

Just like last year when that final siren went off in that game against the Pies.
I think that round is marked on the website as GF. You could lobby to have it changed to CR i suppose.
I defiantly knew the season was over when that siren sounded.

I always sit in Aisle 12 - Bang on the wing Level 4. I fine it is the best GA seat available.

If I was buying - I would be looking at one of the lower levels ... but again ... on the wing.View attachment 1915128

Snapped up 2 tickets L2/36 RowJ directly opposite this photo.
Centre wing level 2, looks like pretty awesome tickets but might be right in amongst all of the hawks fans 🤔

Who out of that lot in your opinion is the one most likely to "make it" at AFL level Miller?

We have a very bad recent record against the Hawks so they should be in a good mood for most of the game ;)

I am hoping this is the game we flick the switch.

McDonald is an overager as well, isn’t he?

Well I think Gallop, Gilder and Gillet all probably get drafted.

Who then takes the next step and actually has a 50+ game career? I'd probably suggest Gilder has the tools to do so, but Gallop probably the one who would tick every box in getting the best out of himself. He is an elite player and an elite person from all reports.

Gillett is a better player than Samson Ryan was at the same age. He is now a 20-30 gamer at Richmond and is about 22?

Alot can happen though.
 
February is a rubbish month - too hot, had enough of family social stuff (love them but we do a lot of dinner togetherness), paying off the Christmas credit card.

Honestly in our family it's the month of mental health decline.

Cannot wait for tomorrow's game and the season proper.

Back obsessive fandom, yelling and cheering and venting.

Even the horror years were better than ugh February.

anyone else feel the same?

Everything is the same as a normal game except 8 on I/C instead of 4 + sub.
Dev now out for OR you would think.
Tunstill plays another solid game, and he should get Devs GF spot.
The players actually named in where they will most likely line up. Thats a change.
